Is it difficult to fill the pill box?

I don't find it difficult. I just open all the compartments and put one in each all the way around and then the next etc...until I have them all in and then I close each compartment one by one. Done. My problem is I do have a lot and so I do have to put them in in a certain way to make sure I get them all in, which I figured out from trial and error at first. I would try one first to make sure it closes before you do them all and find out it won't close. If you don't have many it won't be an issue.

It can be a pain to fill. The top where the pump is unscrews so you can fill it up.

That depends on how large or small the pills are. The compartments are 1 in deep at the deepest point toward the center of the box and 3/4 in at the outer edge. Each compartment is slightly different in length and width due to the shape but are approximately two inches wide at the outer edge and narrow as they get toward the center of the box. I think it would hold a lot of pills. I hope this helps. I like mine. Once set, no worries.

You can turn the base container over and the daily dosage compartments will stay in place. They snap in snugly. All can be snapped out at once to refill as needed.

Yes. When you open it, there is a definite odor. Once in my pill carrier, I did not mind taking them.Hope this helps.

No, not any easier than other large pills. However, it is not round but tubular in dimensions which does it easier than a round pill. We do not have any issues with this put if you have special problems in swallowing you might consider them.

I got this as a gift, but I think that would work. The key thing for him is just the alarm to remind him to take the pill at the right time. He often doesn't keep the pills in the alarm box.

I don't fully understand what you mean about the boxes being locked? These pill containers are basically like daily pill boxes--or sleeves--that are all arranged in this holder for a month supply. The person would have to know the date and take the pills for that date. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask.

You should be able to open the pill and sprinkle contents. And by the way, grow a pair already :-)

I find the pills very easy to remove. The only problem I've had is my vitaman D pill is gel and it sometimes has to be jostled loose. Other than that- still the best pill box I've found.

There's no key - the little black dot at the bottom isn't a lock. You squeeze the outer part where indicated and it will open by the pressure (like - but easier than - a child-proof pill container)

you have to hold the bottle as close to the bottom as possible and squeeze toward the middle. harder then most bottle but the medication is worth the effort.

There is really no locking compartment. What happens is that at the alarm time the round tray rotates such that the next compartment is underneath a dispensing hole. You can pick the entire unit up and dump the pills into your hand, which also shuts off the alarm. The only issue is that if you do not get the pills out before the NEXT alarm time, they will be inaccessible. That's usually not a problem, but you can set the schedule for up to 4 pill-taking times per day, so don't sleep too long if that is the schedule!

Yes, they are but I would be gentle. I fill mine with the lids up. The lids aren't completely vertical when open. If daily containers are placed with some space between them, they are easy to fill. So far, I'm pleased with the pill box as it holds all my large supplements. It also travels well with a rubber band around the length of the box to prevent any spillage.

No, the machine doesn't sort the pills. You have to fill each compartment in the pill machine with the pills you need to take at a specific time. E.g., if you take pills morning, noon, and evening, you will fill a compartment for morning with the appropriate pills, a compartment for the noon pills, etc. until all the compartments are filled. The machine will only open one compartment at a time based on the time you specify. E.g., if you want to take your morning pills at 7:30 a.m., it will open just a "morning" compartment at 7:30 a.m. and make an audible noise to remind you to take the pills out of the compartment that's open. The machine helps with taking pills at the right time of day and keeping you from overdosing. The pill box we bought is for my mother who has dementia. She was starting to miss times when she needed to take pills and was also overdosing by losing track of the day of the week and whether it was morning or evening. The machine ensures that won't happen.

I agree with the others that answered. It is in a push thru. It is not a difficult package and the pills are a good size. Well worth the minor effort.
